Beautiful sunny day here
Water level has dropped :Y:
Need to have a look in my shed and sort out the water damage electric tools
Start the big clean up over the next couple of days
Replant some new plants to try and make it look nice again

It doesn't really matter where you live at the moment with all the flooding going on .,
The flood's don't happen every day and where I live is a very nice part of the world
If I did move I would want a place on a hill :lol:
But knowing my luck the hill would get washed away :lol: :lol: :lol:

174mm or 7 inches old school at Jack River (just out of Yarram).
Rained for two days ......... sent home from work yesterday due to roads flooding.
Got up this morning & the roads are all clear. Still a lot of water going down the rivers & creeks & laying in the paddocks but I can't believe how quickly it has all got away.

Even the concrete is turning green out this way! :lol:
Some of the totals around the place have been amazing this season. We were already fairly saturated from the storms leading up to this trough system throughout Jan. and Feb. Amazing to see the trees bounce back to life after not seeing a single green leaf for almost two years, let alone the constant daily dust storms that are a thing of the past at this point.
We copped a large left-moving HP Supercell back on the 21st of Jan. that put down 100-110mm or 4 inches in twenty minutes (measured across several gauges around town). I have a shot of our street that I took ten minutes after it left showing 50cm deep water and we live up on a ridge here. We had actual tide marks along the street.
The last event like that was from a similar structured storm in 2003. That was 90-100mm 3-1/2 inches in about forty minutes total, but similar results as far as local flooding.
It was only one of many across several weeks leading up to this event. Seems the current "official" totals aren't even reflecting the actual rainfall out here. I'm not sure the local weather station is even monitored correctly?
We also pulled a record number of lightning strikes for a single storm (Lightning Ridge living up to its name nicely) back on the 12th of this month that Weatherzone put out there on the news of 51699 strikes just around town. I wasn't surprised by that either as I was standing out there watching it unfold. It was sheer insanity!
I've been trying to gather totals, but I'd say it would be around a foot of rain for the month so far. Official is showing 218mm, but as I said that's definitely out by some margin. I really need to get my old gauges set up again. We'd been in drought so long that I took them down.
This event was easy to see coming, even last year given that the Sun is at Solar Minimum (ten to eleven yearly cycle) and the La Nina was in full swing.
There's also a bit of a trend out here with the years that the normally dry Coocoran Lake has filled with each strong flooding event across the decades. 74-75 was the only anomalous event and still the wettest year on record for Australia. We had 10" of rain overnight in a single downpour from that event. Then you have 80-81, 90-91, 00-01 and 10-11 that the lake has filled. So I'd hesitate a guess that this coming Summer might be an interesting season as the lake hasn't received anything to fill it as yet via the QLD river systems that flow down into NSW and overflow into the Narran River channels.
I can say for certain that I'm not looking forward to the coming Mosquito and Sandfly plagues one bit. :N:

Breaking news:
Floods cause millions of dollars worth of improvements to roads in the Hawkesbury area....
Very sad actually, took nearly a year to build this road and went from one of the worst in the area to one of the best, now almost completely destroyed....

Time to start the clean up at my place
For the sake of an argument,
If it is a hot Summer, " Global Warming. "
If it is a wet Summer, " Climate Change. "
If it is a dry winter, " Solar Maximus. "
If it is a Wet winter, " Ice Age coming. "
Then we have, " La Nino. "
On top of that, " Lo Nina. "
Just who is right with this. ??
My answer, No one. It is the way it is and no one is going to change it.
Just tax it and it will go away.oop:
